The New Reverse Mortgage can ease the retirement squeeze

The retirement squeeze is one of the cruel ironies of life. Many of us finally hit our earnings peak and it’s time to start thinking about retirement and the challenges of living on a fixed income.

Even Pre-Retirees are feeling the retirement squeeze

According to a recent study by Bankers Life Center for a Secure Retirement, 60% of non retired middle-income Boomers are spending as much or more than their household income and 38% of retired middle-income Boomers have had to make adjustments to compensate for a financial shortfall in retirement.

When we were working, we could put in some overtime or sell a few more widgets to make up for those shortfalls. The solution isn’t so simple in retirement on a fixed income.

Worried about the retirement squeeze? You’re not alone

If you’re concerned about your retirement, you’re not alone. There are 69% of Boomers who don’t think they will have enough money to live comfortably to age 85 and nearly 88% of middle-income Boomers express at least one concern about their retirement.

The number one retirement squeeze

It’s consumer debt. Of all Boomers surveyed, 81% currently have some debt and 28% say that they devote more than 40% of their monthly income to debt. Furthermore, one-quarter of Boomers with a middle income level have a mortgage with more than 20 years left on it. Managing that kind of debt load in retirement will definitely cause some sleepless nights

And now comes the best part,

You can “ease the retirement squeeze”

Retiring and be financially prepared for retirement are two different animals. But It’s not too late to set yourself up for a secure retirement. Though, half of non-retired middle-income Boomers say they plan to enter their retirement debt free, only 23% of those in retirement already are actually debt free.
